I got my Vette at 27 (turned 29 in July). But.....bought a brand new 99 T/A at 19.

Never had any flak for it.

24yrs old and....

I have a 2003 Z06 with 20k miles MINT.... Bought it cash for 30k about 6 months ago, prior to that I had an 2001 Acura CL Type S, then a 2001 WS6 T/a, then a 98 WS6 t/w , then a 92 toyota tacoma, and then a bike....

People give me **** all the time... I am tired of hearing "nice that daddy let you take the car out" I just say f*&% you dont be jealous....

People dont understand that you can be young and make a lot of money. I was making 120k a year when I was 19.... I am 24 now and make 150-160k a year. I like having a nice car, I have an investment portfolio, a house with equity, and of course a nice vette.... Puttin the CAM in this week all thanks to a Overseal Alum company ACH which I bought at 21$ a share 2-3 months ago and is now over $80 a share....

<----24

The only people who make those kinds if remarks are the losers who partied/drank/slacked off too much and can't or couldn't afford a nice car while they were youthful, so pay the remarks no attention. It's a self defense mechanism. Rather than have to admit their faults, people like to make excuses as to why others have things, "daddy bought it" or "rich punk." Just like liberals use terms like "filthy rich" because it implies wealthy people cheated and so liberals then don't have to admit that they simply aren't bright or didn't work as hard as the "filthy" rich people.

Get the car, you won't regret it!

24 and bought my 99vette this year after driving my 96z for 3 years. Just today I had the vette at work and a customer asked the other guy if that was his car becasuse the other guy is 37. When the other guy told him it was mine the customer said oh did mommy and daddy by it? I would have got mad but I look at it this way hes 40 and drives a blah blah everyday car and I get to drive a vette. The other guy at my work even said "he works full time 40hrs a week and does sidejobs on the weekend, so he can spend it however he wants."

you work hard you have to play hard

I'm 23 years old and having way to much fun to notice what anybody else thinks of my toys. No matter how old you are, there will always be haters. Although, it seems most people are more interested with the cars than the age, which is the way it should be.
